I had a conversation with Major Mong, a key three blogger here at Yammer, and I told him that Dallas would beat Colorado to move on to conference finals. What happened? That's right. Dallas won game seven. The question is, why don't I just bet on hockey? I clearly get things right.
My Winnipeg Jets are clearly crap. We know that. I never said I'd bet on them to win. You'd have to be stupid or desperate to bet on the Jets to win a playoff series. With that all in mind, I think I could ace this whole sports betting picks. The Mong, Finn, doesn't want to admit it, but Dallas has shown up big time where it has mattered. I figured that out and made a call that he didn't like. In honesty, he wouldn't have liked whatever happened with that game seven. He hates the Avs because they bet his Flames when Calgary was seeded second in the league and he hates the Stars because they outclassed them in the bubble.
Finn won't admit it, but almost every call I've made has been pretty much correct. Apart from the odd series or two, I've nailed it. The only call that I made that ended up being wrong was the Philadelphia Flyers being able to beat the Islanders. I made that call when the Flyers were down 3-1 and they forced a game seven. I'm pretty happy with how that turned out. No, they didn't end up winning, but they forced the series to seven and, to make it even better, Philadelphia did what only Philadelphia knows to do and blew it when they were pretty much there.
I think Philadelphia has great fans, but the way their sports teams consistently prove to be mediocre makes me smile. Some things you can never take for granted in this world, but Philadelphia being completely useless is something you can count on. Don't worry... You can come back next year and pretend you might have a shot at winning again.
So yeah, I might bet on Hockey. I seem to know something or two about it.
